1. Installing Applications Chia-Hung Tsai

2. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 2 Overview  Two technologies Packages Ports  Packages contains pre-compiled copies of all the commands for the application, as well as any configuration files or documentation  Ports a collection of files designed to automate the process of compiling an application from source code  Both packages and ports understand dependencies

3. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 3 Overview  Package benefits tarball is typically smaller Packages do not require any additional compilation  Ports benefits you can tweak the compilation options to generate code that is specific to a different processor Some applications have compile time options relating to what they can and cannot do

4. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 4 Package System  pkg_add(1) pkg_add pkg_name # pkg_add lsof-4.56.4.tgz pkg_add -r pkg_name  If you don’t have a source of local packages  If you are using FreeBSD-CURRENT or FreeBSD-STABLE, pkg_add will download the latest version of your application  If your are using FreeBSD-RELEASE, it will grab the version of the package that was built with your release  PACKAGESITE environment variable

5. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 5 Managing Packages  pkg_info(1)  pkg_version(1)  pkg_delete(1) # pkg_delete xchat-1.7.1

6. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 6 Ports system  Find your application cd /usr/ports make search name=program name make search key=string  change to the directory for the port you want to install  Type “make install clean” to install your application make make install make clean

7. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 7 Ports system  When your type “make”, the ports system uses fetch(1) to download the filesfetch(1) MASTER_SITES environment variable make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE= \ ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/ fetch /etc/make.conf  Using pkg_delete pkg_name to delete your application

8. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 8 Obtaining the Ports Collection  sysinstall  cvsup (or csup, … etc)  cd-rom  Using cvsup to update your ports collection

9. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 9 Upgrading Ports using portupgrade  pkg_version -v  portupgrade The utility is designed to easily upgrade installed ports cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean portupgrade -a Portupgrade -R firefox

10. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 10 portaudit  portaudit check if installed ports are listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities portinstall portaudit portaudit -Fa

11. Computer Center, CS, NCTU 11 Installation failed  cvsup ports tree  /usr/ports/UPDATING  portsdb -Fu Generate the ports database named INDEX.db from INDEX  pkgdb -F An interactive tool for fixing the package registry database  portupgrade -aR  portinstall again
